AlMansouri also said that there are plans to hold exhibitions in the largest tourism markets and that
the goal of the "Emirates for Hospitality" is to improve local human resources in the tourism sector.
There are some disadvantages with boosting tourism in the UAE. The first disadvantage that the
boost of tourism brought to the country is that we lost our culture. Our rich cultural heritage are
diminished.People became more westernized. Citizens don't follow the dress standards and elders
are frustrated. Moreover, some tourists often don't respect the UAE's traditions and culture such as
not following traditional dress standards or getting drunk in public. The second disadvantage is that
there are more traffic in the country. In fact, citizens avoid the famous malls and tourist destinations
because of the traffic. There are number of advantages affecting the country and society from
boosting tourism in the UAE. The first and the main advantage is that tourism brings money. As
Almansouri noted "Estimates indicate that the tourism sector will contribute 5.4 percent annually
over the next 10 years to reach AED 236.8 billion by year 2026." This means that the income
produced from tourism can make up a noticeable percentage of the national income. The second
advantage, is tourism will provide more jobs for the UAE locals and non–locals. Some of these jobs
are hotels, transportation, shops, restaurants and other places that needs staffing. As a matter of

The remarkable differences between the trait and behavioural theory are that the last one emphasises
on both the accomplishment of the task as the main indications for the leader success, and
employees' satisfaction,
Situational leadership: According to this theory, the effectiveness of the leader is significantly
correlated with situational factors which restrict the performance of the leader positively or
negatively. In other words, "the efficiency of leader's skills or traits are determined by the situation
in which leaders exercise leadership" (Dessler,1976), These factors are:
– Follower's contributions.
– The availability and the utilization of the resources.
However, creating the harmonisation and the collaboration between the situational factors and the
leader are essential to determine leader's effectiveness.
Contingency Theories: basically, the assumption of this theory, that the behaviour of the leader can
not be standardised, instead, the leader should consider situational factors. The success of the leader
in this theory is measured by the ability of leader to adopt such a style to achieve certain task with a
consideration to the followers.
This theory was the beginning of new view of leadership; based on this assumption other

The Burj Al Arab, A Glass And Steel Skyscraper
The Burj Al Arab, a glass and steel skyscraper (Ingersoll 2013, 935), was developed during a time
period of rapid expansion in the United Arab Emirates, and in Dubai (Bagaeen 2007, 173–197), and
was completed in 1999 (Welch 2014) by the Jumeirah International Group, Architect Tom Wright
(McBride 2000, 118), and the Atkins Company (Ingersoll 2013, 935). The Burj Khalifa is 160
stories or 630 meters tall (Ingersoll 2013, 937). The Burj Khalifa is the tallest artificial structure in
the world. It is a mixed–use tower that primarily houses office and residential space (Baker 2010,
46), the tip reaches 828 meters (Alfred 2010, 66), and the Burj Khalifa was inaugurated January 4,
2010 (Baker 2010, 46). Like the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa was designed by a western architect,
Adrian Smith, and the architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (Ingersoll 2013, 937). In
this industrial age of mega development, in the nondemocratic United Arab Emirates, mega projects

primitive political structures have many holes which are exploited by the few with power.

Oman and the Persian Gulf on its southern coast. This positioned the country to have bordering
countries such as Saudi Arabia to the southwest, Qatar and Iran in the north, and Oman in the east.
This enhances the United Arab Emirates trading with neighboring countries which led to a positive

The Impact Of Tax Structure Of The United Arab Emirates
Currently, the United Arab Emirates does not have a federal corporate income tax (CIT) regime;
however, most of the Emirates introduced income tax decrees in the late 1960s, and taxation is
therefore determined on an Emirate–by–Emirate basis.
Under the Emirate–based tax decrees, CIT may be imposed on all companies (including branches
and permanent establishments [PEs]) at rates of up to 55%. However, in practice, CIT is currently
only enforced in respect of corporate entities engaged in the production of oil and gas or extraction
of other natural resources in the United Arab Emirates.
In addition, some of the Emirates have their own specific banking tax decrees, which impose CIT on
branches of foreign banks at the rate of 20%

It is generally the tenants' obligation to pay the tax. In some cases, separate fees are payable by both
tenants and property owners. For example, in the Emirate of Dubai, the municipality tax on property
is currently imposed at 5% of the annual rental value for tenants or at 5% of the specified rental
index for property owners.
Further, a registration fee may also be levied on transfer of ownership of land or property. For
example, a land registration fee is levied in the Emirate of Dubai at a rate of 4% of the sale value of
the property.
There is a social security regime in the United Arab Emirates that applies to UAE and GCC national
employees only. In most of the Emirates, and for a UAE national employee, social security
contributions are calculated at a rate of 17.5% of the employee's gross remuneration as stated in the
employment contract. Out of the 17.5%, 5% is payable by the employee and the remaining 12.5% is
payable by the employer. Dubai's enormous oil revenues mean that the government has no need to

Uae National Day
Introduction
UAE is a truly blessed nation and an important a role model for the entire world. Founded on the
principles of union and justice, this nation today stands tall and has found a firm footing on the
world map. An arid piece of land transformed by the vision and aspirations of a man who wanted to
bring about a change in the lives of those around him. A man of pride and wisdom – H.H. Sheikh
Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan not only dreamt but had the courage to pursue his dream and turn it
into a beacon of reality. In the process, he never lost sight of his roots and cultural heritage.

At times there are brilliant live outdoors concerts, with the local students performing the traditional
UAE dances and dedicating poetry to the day.This is sometimes ended with fasinating fireworks or
laser displays.
The history and significance
Not long ago, the UAE was a land of desert inhabited by proud and resourceful nomadic Bedouin
tribes, fishing villages and date farms. Abu Dhabi consisted of several hundred palm huts (barasti)
huts, a few coral buildings and the Ruler's Fort. Situated along the creek, Dubai was a trading hub,
providing a safe haven before the Straits of Hormuz and beyond. Life today in the Emirates bears
little resemblance to that of 40 years ago.
Parts of the UAE were settled as far back as the 3rd millennium BC and its early history fits the
nomadic, herding and fishing pattern typical of the broader region. The Bedouin tribe was the
principal building block of UAE society. Bedouin, which means desert–dweller, lived in varied
terrain – moving between the ocean (where pearl diving and fishing were the main forms of
sustenance), the desert (moving as nomads for

Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the United Arab...
There are many social returns that can be gained from the Sougha program. Alleviation of
unemployment, women empowerment and the all–important role of preserving indigenous Emirati
heritage are just examples of the social impact of Sougha. The program is cognizant of the fact that a
large population of Emiratis possesses enormous potential for entrepreneurship but is largely unable
to achieve employment. Because of the Sougha program, such individuals are able to access
assistance, both material and otherwise, which enables them to consequently enhance their
entrepreneurial skills and in effect, seize market opportunities (Sougha.com, 2012). As a result, the

There exist numerous differences between the type of social entrepreneurship exhibited by the
Khalifa Fund programs, and the general idea of commercial, entrepreneurship. But perhaps the
greatest similarity both types of entrepreneurships have is the pursuit of revenue. Both types of
entrepreneurship recognize opportunities for business and this precisely when the need to innovate
is invoked. However, for social entrepreneurs, the social missing of their innovation takes central
part and influences greatly how they perceive business opportunities. In most cases, ethics, integrity
and the demonstration of humanity creates a distinct contrast between social and commercial
entrepreneurship. In essence, a majority of social entrepreneurs associate their business with
communities that are relatively disadvantaged in terms of accessing resources. A key facet of social
entrepreneurship employed by the management of the fund is responsible leadership. All four
programs started by the Khalifa Fund are without a doubt socially engineered. Al Radda recognizes
the importance of empowering former inmates to venture into the world of business, and this
prevents the proliferation of crime in society. Isharq provides training assistance for people
emerging from drug addiction, and this serves to sanitize the society by addressing stringent issues

Fleet Management in Dtc
INTRODUCTION
Fleet management is the management of a company's transportation fleet. Fleet management
includes commercial motor vehicles such as cars, vans and trucks, as well as rail cars. Fleet
(vehicle) management can include a range of functions, such as vehicle financing, vehicle
maintenance, vehicle telemetric (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management,
fuel management and health and safety management. Fleet Management is a function which allows
companies which rely on transportation in their business to remove or minimize the risks associated
with vehicle investment, improving efficiency, productivity and reducing their overall transportation
and staff costs, providing 100% compliance with government ... Show more content on

These specific tasks encompass all operations from vehicle acquisition to disposal. Software,
depending on its capabilities, allows functions such as driver and vehicle profiling, trip profiling,
dispatch, vehicle efficiency, etc. It can provide remote control features, such as Geo–fencing and
active disabling. Current vehicle diagnostic information can also be related to a management site,
depending on the type of hardware installed in the vehicles. New platform, based on Fleet
management software, is fleet controlling with higher amount of information available for both
drivers and dispatchers of a fleet. At this time (2012) online software platforms are very popular:
users no longer have to install software and they can access the software through a web browser.
Fleet Security and Control
Recent advances in fleet management allow for the addition of over–the–air (OTA) security and
control of fleet vehicles. Fleet Security and Control includes security of the vehicle while stopped or
not in operation and the ability to safely disable a vehicle while in operation. This allows the fleet
manager to recover stolen or rogue vehicles while reducing the chance of lost or stolen cargo. The
additional of Fleet Security and Control to a fleet management system gives a fleet card manager
preventative measures to address cargo damage and loss.

Under Pressure, Dubai Drops Port Deal Essay

November 2, 2010
Under Pressure, Dubai Drops Port Deal The Dubai Port World controversy began in February 2006
and rose to prominence as a national security debate in the United States. At issue was the sale of
port management businesses in six major U.S. seaports to a company based in the United Arab
Emirates, and whether such a sale would compromise port security. The controversy pertained to
management contracts of six major United States ports. The purchaser was DP World, a state–owned
company in the U.A.E. The contracts had already been foreign–owned, by Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company (P&O), a British firm taken over by DPW, completed in March 2006.

First, these ports are strategic for the country, and it is better to be managed by the US Company.
Second, more US citizens will be employed. Finally, the most important factor is security. The
country will be safer when these ports are managed by Americans. The safety of the country and
support of domestic companies could have influence on the reversal of the ports deal. The US public
concerns did not have big influence on a business decision made by a Dubai company. More
influence had the political pressure. However, public concern also played its role in this case. For
example, people's opinion was that foreign states, especially those related to terrorism in the past,
could not be trusted with strategic American assets. Also, they thought that foreign countries should
not have managerial responsibilities over ports due to divided loyalties and concerns over national
independence. Accordingly, all these public opinions were reflected and expressed by the politicians
whose pressure constrained Dubai Company to withdraw. Thinking that transportation takes place
through a global network of companies is slightly incorrect. Ports are vulnerable to the entry of
terrorists or illicit weapons because of the large number of containers that enter U.S. territory.
Accordingly, no foreign government should be permitted to own such strategic assets. There are
many business assets that can be owned by foreign companies and

The seasonal movements of the nomadic groups created frequent clashes amongst them but also led
to the establishment of seasonal and semi–seasonal settlements and centers. The tribal groups whose
names are still carried by the modern Emiratis are known as: Bani Yas, Al Bu Falah, Al Ain, Liwa,
the Dhawahir, Awamir, Manasir, the Sharqiyin, and the Qawasim. The Bani Yas confederation was
the most dominant force of Abu Dhabi by the 17th century. The Portuguese continued to maintain an
influence over the coastal settlements during the 16th century. The British ruled the southern coast
of the Persian Gulf during the 17th to the 19th century. The Sheikhs agreed not to dispose of any
territory or to enter any foreign relationships without the consent of the British. In return, the British
promised to protect all aggression from the sea and to help in case of land attack. During the 19th
and the early 20th centuries, the pearling industry thrived which provided income and employment
to the people of the Persian Gulf. However, the first world war had a severe impact on this industry
which wiped it out. The British then set up a development office that helped in some small
developments within the Emirates. Due to the trial nature of society and the lack of definition of
borders between the emirates, there were frequent disputes which kept settling either through

The Success Of Dubai 's Brand Essay
A small desert village that resides next to the Arabian Gulf, Dubai has established its footprint in the
global world competing with renowned cities such as London, New York, Frankfort, and Hong
Kong. In a span of 10 years, Dubai had built the tallest building in the world, the first luxurious
seven–star hotel in the world, and the largest man–made island and is building more amazing
projects. Furthermore, Emirates Airlines became one of the top brands in the world with its
outstanding quality of services and its vast and new fleet of planes flying over 40 million passengers
to every possible destination in the world. The success of Dubai's brand can be attributed to its
astonishing leader Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al–Maktoum. Through his vision and his
leadership style, Dubai emerged from a depleting oil reserves state, withstood the economic
recessions in 2001 and 2008 and excelled globally by completing their massive projects and
challenging many more complex projects such as the Mall of the World. Which is going to be the
biggest mall in the globe, and Expo 2020 as the first city in the MENA region to host this event.

Even though Emirates Airlines has had some crisis during their evolution such as the 2001 terrorist

flexibility and future decisions would have been done with outside partners.

There are also a number of downsides to the area because of economic impacts that the travel and
tourism industry bring that mostly affects the locals of the area. First is the increase in living costs.
As more and more tourists come to the area, tourism related facilities increase the prices of their
goods knowing that most tourists can afford their prices. A good example of this negative impact is
taxi drivers charging tourists more than the usual. Second is leakage. Leakage is defined as the
amount of money for supplies and services paid for outside an area or in simple terms, money that
does not benefit the economy of the area. The economic benefits of the area can be lost if the goods
and services are imported rather than for the local goods and services to be used. Leakage can be
avoided by sourcing local materials, using local products, allowing local people to sell in resorts and
hotels and employing more local people. Third impact is the decline of traditional employment. As
the tourism industry grows there is a bigger demand for people to be employed in it. More and more
people are attracted to this industry for it provides a more attractive option rather than the harder,
lower paid traditional jobs. This then results to the traditional industries suffering for the younger

Emirates was born out of crisis, when Gulf Air refused to increase flights to and from Dubai unless
the government protected the carrier for its long–haul services. Rather than persuade Gulf Air to
change its mind, and knowing how dependent Dubai was on air travel for its burgeoning economy,
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al–Maktoum, chairman of the Emirates Group, established the
Emirates airline with an investment of $10 million, a trifling sum by the standards of international
airlines. Right from the start, Emirates did things differently. Sheikh Mohammed instructed his new

The Burj Khalifa is 160 stories or 630 meters tall (Ingersoll 2013, 937). The Burj Khalifa is the tallest artificial structure in the world. It is a mixed–use tower that primarily houses office and residential space (Baker 2010, 46), the tip reaches 828 meters (Alfred 2010, 66), and the Burj Khalifa was inaugurated January 4, 2010 (Baker 2010, 46). Like the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa was designed by a western architect, Adrian Smith, and the architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (Ingersoll 2013, 937). In this industrial age of mega development, in the nondemocratic United Arab Emirates, mega projects are hastily and irresponsibly built with little consideration of their regional negative impacts or sustainability. In the United Arab Emirates, and in lesser developed countries around the world, their primitive political structures have many holes which are exploited by the few with power.

This project will be located in Al Sufouh, Dubai, which is one of the seven emirates that compose the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates is located in the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It also extends part of the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf on its southern coast. This positioned the country to have bordering countries such as Saudi Arabia to the southwest, Qatar and Iran in the north, and Oman in the east. This enhances the United Arab Emirates trading with neighboring countries which led to a positive effect on the economy. Yet, the sandy and barren city strives to improve their economic standing each and every day. With a population of 9.2 million, the country continues to grow and expand to further their reputation as one of the richest country in the world. One of the most important part of the United Arab Emirates history is their federation being formed in 1971. Specifically, this federation had a huge effect on Dubai. In Dubai becoming part of the seven emirates, there was an increased influence on the city 's development and growth. Even as the city saw an influx in immigrants fleeing from the Lebanese civil war in December 1971, Dubai together with Abu Dhabi, the capital, and 5 other emirates, formed the United Arab Emirates after the formal protector of Britain left the Persian Gulf.

The Impact Of Tax Structure Of The United Arab Emirates Currently, the United Arab Emirates does not have a federal corporate income tax (CIT) regime; however, most of the Emirates introduced income tax decrees in the late 1960s, and taxation is therefore determined on an Emirate–by–Emirate basis. Under the Emirate–based tax decrees, CIT may be imposed on all companies (including branches and permanent establishments [PEs]) at rates of up to 55%. However, in practice, CIT is currently only enforced in respect of corporate entities engaged in the production of oil and gas or extraction of other natural resources in the United Arab Emirates. In addition, some of the Emirates have their own specific banking tax decrees, which impose CIT on branches of foreign banks at the rate of 20% After the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is generally the tenants' obligation to pay the tax. In some cases, separate fees are payable by both tenants and property owners. For example, in the Emirate of Dubai, the municipality tax on property is currently imposed at 5% of the annual rental value for tenants or at 5% of the specified rental index for property owners. Further, a registration fee may also be levied on transfer of ownership of land or property. For example, a land registration fee is levied in the Emirate of Dubai at a rate of 4% of the sale value of the property. There is a social security regime in the United Arab Emirates that applies to UAE and GCC national employees only. In most of the Emirates, and for a UAE national employee, social security contributions are calculated at a rate of 17.5% of the employee's gross remuneration as stated in the employment contract. Out of the 17.5%, 5% is payable by the employee and the remaining 12.5% is payable by the employer. Dubai's enormous oil revenues mean that the government has no need to raise income through direct taxation. Accordingly, Dubai is a "no tax" emirate characterized by an almost complete absence of taxation. There are no withholding or capital taxes.

There exist numerous differences between the type of social entrepreneurship exhibited by the Khalifa Fund programs, and the general idea of commercial, entrepreneurship. But perhaps the greatest similarity both types of entrepreneurships have is the pursuit of revenue. Both types of entrepreneurship recognize opportunities for business and this precisely when the need to innovate is invoked. However, for social entrepreneurs, the social missing of their innovation takes central part and influences greatly how they perceive business opportunities. In most cases, ethics, integrity and the demonstration of humanity creates a distinct contrast between social and commercial entrepreneurship. In essence, a majority of social entrepreneurs associate their business with communities that are relatively disadvantaged in terms of accessing resources. A key facet of social entrepreneurship employed by the management of the fund is responsible leadership. All four programs started by the Khalifa Fund are without a doubt socially engineered.

The controversy pertained to management contracts of six major United States ports. The purchaser was DP World, a state–owned company in the U.A.E.

Finally, the most important factor is security. The country will be safer when these ports are managed by Americans. The safety of the country and support of domestic companies could have influence on the reversal of the ports deal. The US public concerns did not have big influence on a business decision made by a Dubai company. More influence had the political pressure. However, public concern also played its role in this case. For example, people's opinion was that foreign states, especially those related to terrorism in the past, could not be trusted with strategic American assets. Also, they thought that foreign countries should not have managerial responsibilities over ports due to divided loyalties and concerns over national independence. Accordingly, all these public opinions were reflected and expressed by the politicians whose pressure constrained Dubai Company to withdraw. Thinking that transportation takes place through a global network of companies is slightly incorrect. Ports are vulnerable to the entry of terrorists or illicit weapons because of the large number of containers that enter U.S. territory.

In 1984 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Mr Flanagan discussed launching an airline in Dubai and with just a 10–man team he produced the business plan for the new airline. The names he proposed were Dubai Airlines or Emirates airline. Finally the decision was made and Sheik Mohammed opted for the Emirates Airlines and decided to launch it on top of the Dnata, which was already settled in the Airline ...

Even though Emirates Airlines has had some crisis during their evolution such as the 2001 terrorist attacks which led to the cancellation of all flights going to America. Emirates Airlines have always resisted the temptation of merging and acquisitions. The main reason of avoiding merging and acquisition is mainly because it would lower their flexibility and future decisions would have been done with outside partners. I believe that this ambition of looking at the future has brought them even more up in the airlines markets. Free Competition Emirates Airlines have also decided to allow free competition. This decision has brought benefits for the Airline because the fact of raising competition would mean raise the standards. By doing this they have putted them in a great position because I believe that they are the leaders in continuous innovation and development within the industry. Courage

Impacts of Tourism Development Sustainable tourism is an industry that attempts to make a low impact on the environment and local culture while helping to generate income, employment, and the conservation of local ecosystems. It is responsible tourism that is both ecologically and culturally sensitive. Meaning, sustainable tourism activities have minimal impact on the environment and culture of the host community.

There are also a number of downsides to the area because of economic impacts that the travel and tourism industry bring that mostly affects the locals of the area. First is the increase in living costs. As more and more tourists come to the area, tourism related facilities increase the prices of their goods knowing that most tourists can afford their prices. A good example of this negative impact is taxi drivers charging tourists more than the usual. Second is leakage. Leakage is defined as the amount of money for supplies and services paid for outside an area or in simple terms, money that does not benefit the economy of the area. The economic benefits of the area can be lost if the goods and services are imported rather than for the local goods and services to be used. Leakage can be avoided by sourcing local materials, using local products, allowing local people to sell in resorts and hotels and employing more local people. Third impact is the decline of traditional employment. As the tourism industry grows there is a bigger demand for people to be employed in it. More and more people are attracted to this industry for it provides a more attractive option rather than the harder, lower paid traditional jobs. This then results to the traditional industries suffering for the younger generation no longer want to learn the skills of the old jobs like weaving and thatchery resulting that ...

Donald N. Sull, Sumantra Ghoshal and Felipe Monteiro unveil some of the mystery that shrouds a national carrier that enjoys no state handouts – and treats its employees as a giant family.

Emirates was born out of crisis, when Gulf Air refused to increase flights to and from Dubai unless the government protected the carrier for its long–haul services. Rather than persuade Gulf Air to change its mind, and knowing how dependent Dubai was on air travel for its burgeoning economy, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al–Maktoum, chairman of the Emirates Group, established the Emirates airline with an investment of $10 million, a trifling sum by the standards of international airlines. Right from the start, Emirates did things differently. Sheikh Mohammed instructed his new managing director Maurice Flanagan: "Forget about protection against competition. That's not the way Dubai works." Emirates began operations in October of the same year. In contrast to many other national airlines, Emirates never received direct subsidies or relied on government handouts. Dubai's open skies 36 "We don't have a board – we have an open agenda," because nobody is focusing on such details." Mannion believes this "big picture" thinking is a recipe for disaster. He also questions the conventional wisdom that airlines are destined to become unprofitable as they grow. "I dispute that volume brings complexity. Diversity brings complexity – new markets don't. For example, in the US we will have challenges but the basic business process is not complex." Go it alone. And unlike most other airlines, Emirates does not see the business case for joining an alliance. According to Maurice ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It was struggling financially and began to cut back its flights to Dubai. This presented a dire need, we saw an opportunity and ceased it with utter determination and an outstanding vision.
